Sometimes

Sometimes blogs are insufficient because I have a lot of things on my mind lately. I can't just blog them all together at the same time. I guess that's what a twitter is for, but I will never do that.

I will just leave you with two thoughts:

- I'm thankful that Jesus let me feel and that tears flowed at summer con. I got to be real with myself, with my class, and with BCF. I wrote a eulogy for my time in BCF and got to thank Jesus for what it was. More on this later.

- I saw a homeless man when I got off the freeway on my way to LAX. He had a sign that read: "Homeless. Hungry. Need dog food." He was out there, dirty blue shirt and jeans. His face was unshaven and he had a little pot belly action going on. In one hand he held his sign, and in the other was a leash with the dog that he was asking people to consider feeding. I've seen homeless people with signs at freeway exits before, but nothing has affected me or has brought me so close to tears before. This man has no home and no food, and yet it was important enough for him to ask for dog food. That dog is probably the one companion that will go with him wherever he is. I really wish I had cash on me, because I would have gladly have given him money. Whenever I see a homeless person asking for food, I remember that I have thought about keeping food in my car so that I can be ready to give. I really wish I had something to give to that man yesterday. All he has for now are my prayers for him and his dog, but I pray that God will intervene in his life and provide for him.
